Call for Submissions: November 2017 Blog

Lately, does it feel like the only voices heard across social media and news platforms are simply the angry or the fringe minority? How do we have loud bold voices that speak truth without sounding like the rest of the angry voices around us? Risking your voice to be heard can come at a price (alienated from the socially “acceptable” or excluded from family or other inner circles), and even just living out loud seems to attract uninvited naysayers and opposition. So, how do you boldly live out loud in truth without leaving hardened hearts, but instead leaving love in the wake of truth?

I unplugged from social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) because it was hardening my heart.

For more information about the tone of our materials and our submission process read our writer’s guidelines (Insider hint: We take these very seriously, so it’s important you take a peek before submitting.)

Submission Process

Just so you know, all articles are received on speculation. Regretfully, we are unable to respond to submissions when they are received. However, if your article is selected for publishing, we will email you in advance with the submission agreement and date we will be publishing for your records.

And Since You Always Ask

The MOPS Blog does post previously published or posted material. Just make sure it meets our editorial needs first. Because, again, we take those pretty seriously.

What About General Content?

Yes, we certainly accept general articles about parenting, mothering and woman-related issues. In fact, we’re always up for a good tear-jerker or one of those stories that gets us laughing. We welcome those submissions through the same submissions process, but we should tell you up front that since we’re a theme-based magazine and blog, we only publish a few.
